The geometrical centre is the same as cg for symmetrical objects like circles and squares, not for right-angle triangles.

The Centre of gravity is defined for 3D objects. Not for 2D. So, Option B is correct.

Incorrect is the right answer.

A should be correct. I also agree.

Centre gravity related to the distribution of mass. So, if nonuniform distribution mass occurs in a triangle. Then, the centre of gravity does not coincide with its geometrical centre. The geometrical centre is simply the intersection of meridians of the triangle.

A is the correct answer.

I have drawn right angle triangle in solidworks. I have found the same point for C.G. And medians intersection (tried various cases but the same result).

So it is A.

@Mintu.

This is triangle not rectangle.
